#Brittas' #Potas
The allegation made by Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas is just a political speculation that is completely devoid of facts. There is no official confirmation yet for the claim that the central government has decided to remove Mahatma Gandhi's image from Indian currency.
Meanwhile, the sudden appearance of leaders of a party that has long opposed Gandhiji ideologically and politically as Gandhi's friends is naturally suspicious.
The current Gandhi love of a party that has a history of inviting those who have criticized and insulted Gandhi to platforms, honoring them and giving speeches is nothing but a drama fabricated for political convenience.
This controversy surrounding the Gandhi image on currency notes is also artificial.
India had currency even before Gandhi's image was included in the notes; Gandhiji was held in immense respect in the minds of the people even then. Whether or not his image is on the note is not a factor that determines his greatness.
Whatever form of currency the Indian government issues, people will use it for buying and selling.
The attempt by John Brittas and his team to divide the people and exploit them politically by citing this issue is futile. The move to destroy social harmony through such baseless statements should be strongly condemned.
Brittas' wet potas is likely to not spark.
